Independent and Assisted Living
Your Personal Interests, Social Life and Companionship To us, it’s simply common sense to make sure the care we provide to older people takes each individual’s likes, dislikes, preferences and care needs into account.
This is the basis of the standards that we set for ourselves We’ll find out what you really enjoy doing – even old hobbies that you like to recall. Together, we’ll create a plan for activities. Typical activities include visits to a badminton game, a Hollywood movie, star photograph exhibitions, music and dancing performances, shell-collecting, chess playing, knitting and craft club, or painting lessons…a whole range of ways to stay socially active and to have fun.
Your Personal Care
In order to fully understand your specific support needs – we will work closely with you, your family, General Practitioners and other professionals to identify the level of care required. Each personal care plan seeks to provide each client with a say in their care.Healthy eating is essential
Regular, balanced meals are essential to maintain good health. Unfortunately, older people and those with physical or mental difficulties are not always good at (or capable of) looking after themselves in this way. That’s why, at DomCare Company, we offer a personal service for food shopping and meal preparation.
Support in the way that suits you best
We’re happy to fit in with your needs. We can accompany you to the shops, and help you to do the shopping, or we can agree a shopping list with you and do the shopping on your behalf. Then we can either prepare your meal, or assist you while you do the preparation. Afterwards, we can clear away and do the washing up for you.
Your Family Updates, Visits and Activities
Our real reward is in seeing our clients living happy, full and independent lives. Very often, that’s simply a matter of enabling people to see their family and friends regularly and stay up to date with what’s going on in their lives. We actively encourage friends and family to take part in the regular activities and events we hold at our care homes and to talk to us about their loved one.

Regular meals are much better than snacking
It’s so easy for some people to overlook regular meals; finding food preparation a chore or too difficult, or simply forgetting to eat. Others know they need to eat regularly, but can’t be bothered to go to any trouble, so they end up eating all the wrong things, such as cakes, biscuits, chocolates, ready meals and other unhealthy choices. These are fine sometimes, as a treat, but good, healthy meals need care to plan and prepare. Our Care Workers understand the importance of a good diet, and will ensure that clients are helped to eat meals that they not only enjoy, but that also help them to remain healthy.
